The contestant is shown a string of five digits, four of which are the actual price of the prize in the proper order with an extra digit placed somewhere in the middle. The first and last digits in the string are always in their correct position. The contestant must select which of the three numbers is the extraneous digit, which is then removed, leaving the other four digits to squeeze together, closing the gap and forming a final price. If the resulting price is the actual price, they win the prize.
